Abstract excerpt
We have found an example of the nonsense beta-thalassemia (thal) mutation at codon 37 (TGG-->TAG; Trp-->Stop) in a Chinese family. The fetus, who inherited both parents' beta-thalassemic alleles, was a compound heterozygote for the codons 41/42 (-TCTT) and codon 37 (TGG-->TAG) mutations, and presented with the phenotype of severe beta-thal.
